Everett Ruess a 20 year old adventurer, poet, and artist known for his solo-expeditions throughout the High Sierra Mountain Range, the Coast of California, and the American southwest departed for a two month trip into the remote and rugged Utah desert never to be seen again. 

Vilate Young, a 15 month old girl vanished from a picnic at the Newell Steed Ranch near Bryce Canyon Utah in 1953. One minute she was watching a family member churn ice cream and in the blink of an eye, she was gone forever. How far could a 15 month old venture on foot without leaving a trace of where they went?

These two mysteries are the focal point of this week's podcast.

This week’s podcast has to do with the strange, spooky, and true life horror stories that have been shared with our team via email from individuals who wanted to tell their hair-raising stories of either becoming lost and how they self-rescued or of strange things they witnessed and experienced while recreating in the great outdoors. 

This podcast episode is part two of two, and is shared in a campfire story format utilizing AI voiceover to narrate the story on behalf of the witnesses that have either asked to remain anonymous or did not leave a method for us to contact them for follow-up.

Disclaimer: Most of these stories cannot be confirmed through our independent research tactics and, as with any story that is told and shared, we encourage you to listen with open ears, an open mind, and with a little bit of skepticism. 

Skepticism is how curiosity grows and provides us with our own search for answers when something doesn’t sound realistic or familiar to us. 

We hope you enjoy this week's episode.

In this week's episode Tanner fills you in on the poor record keeping from the United State's largest law enforcement agency the National Park Service. Tanner also shares the stories of three individuals, two adults and one child, that vanished in the wilderness without a trace, all within very close proximity to Yellowstone National Park. 
These are just three cases, of the nearly 3 dozen (or more) cases, within an 80 mile radius of the Yellowstone National Park boundary. 

Whether it's just the terrain or something more sinister taking the lives of park-goers, there's no denying that there's something very strange occurring in our national parks and national forests.
